Fire and Artificial Intelligence (AI): How AI Anticipates Human Behaviour in Fire Situations- Case Study of the Colectiv Fire

The catastrophic fire at Bucharest’s Colectiv Club marks a profoundly tragic event in Romania’s history, being one of the most significant human-made disasters the country has faced in recent decades. This study seeks to meticulously reconstruct the events of that fateful night through the use of advanced simulation software applications. By doing so, it aims to provide a detailed analysis of the factors leading to the tragedy, which claimed the lives of 64 individuals and caused injuries to 185 others. The objective is to understand better the dynamics and consequences of the fire, potentially leading to improvements in safety protocols and emergency response strategies to prevent such disasters in the future.
